An injured dog at the centre of a call to Regina police has found a new home with one of the officers who responded.

Early Saturday morning, police were called to the area of 15th Avenue and Toronto Street, for a complaint of an injured and abandoned dog. Officers found the dog awake and alert, but refusing to move.

Officers and the Regina Humane Society took the dog to a 24-hour veterinary clinic, where she was found to have a badly broken foot. Police believe the dog, nicknamed “Sweetie Bear”, fell from a second story window.

The dog spent some time at the Humane Society recovering.
